That BMW i3 is my new all-time-ugliest car ever! It even beats the C7! I see them pretty often now and I have to say... Switzerland doesn't look as pretty as it used to be before that stupid car was introduced! hahaha
No idea what BMW was thinking with that i-line, but certainly nothing good!

I wish you hadn't shared those pics. We may need eye surgery now ! ;-)

Everybody relax...it's just vinyl. It will only stay on the car for the next couple of weeks until we finish up a few photo-shoots with the car, then it will get peeled off.

You're missing the point. The car's not ruined...the vinyl will be removed in a week or two and the original car will be 100% intact. Art Basel is a week long annual celebration of art. All art needs a canvas...something on which the artist can display their work. Every year, we decide to give one local artist a Porsche to use as their canvas. They have some time to study the lines of the car, develop the artwork, then it's transferred to a digital format and placed on the car. Totally removable and won't harm the car at all.

The idea isn't to "modify" the Porsche in any way. The idea is for the Porsche to disappear and simply become a rolling canvas for the artist.

Thanks for the compliments guys! The wheels are our RG5's in 20 inch.

1) I happen to think the BMW Isetta is the ugliest BMW.

2) I like the C7

1. The Isetta has some cuteness in its design. The i3 doesn't IMO

2. Now that I've seen it a few times in person and sat in it, I still don't like it. Can't help it. Just not my cup of tea. However, I do have to say that the interior now looks and feels better.

I just can't wait to see it in real life.
But this week, Chevy has announced its retreat from the European market. Hopefully they will keep importing the Corvette like they promised !

Saw that too in the newspaper saturday, but they indeed said that Corvette and Camaro will be available after Chevrolet retreats from European market. I guess that Opel/Vauxhall dealerships are going to sell these cars.

After a quick bite to eat I saw the Champion car slowly driving up the 1111 Building . For those unfamiliar it's a very nice garage with a club and boutiques overlooking South Beach . Ferrari had an event there one year .

So with my girlriend we walked up each flight of the building to look for the car and on the top floor .. Jackpot !!!!

It looked great !!! There were other cars there too but the C4S was my favorite .

I know that garage. Above Rosa on Lincoln. Nice ride--Miami style.

Thanks for selling me my ride, Champion. Still very happy with the choice. Almost up to 16k miles.
